Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs - Ingolstadt (K. Hauptlaboratorium) ND coin was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation. In the early 1920s, the value of the German mark had dropped significantly, and everyday items like bread and milk were becoming increasingly expensive. To combat this, the government introduced a new currency, the Rentenmark, which was pegged to gold and was intended to stabilize the economy. The 2 Pfennigs - Ingolstadt (K. Hauptlaboratorium) ND coin was minted during this time, and its value was equivalent to 1/50th of a Rentenmark. Despite the economic challenges of the time, the coin remains a popular collector's item today.
